I had just trained my first tier 4 box in the Smuggler Alliance, and the trainer on Dathomir gave me this storyline mission. It involved collecting cargo from a freighter in Lok, then transporting it to Dantooine to deliver to the Hutts.
Well, when I hypered into Dantooine, I heard the combat music. As soon as I reverted to realspace, I had a quest message saying "Enemy ships approacing on attack vector" and I throttled up, but there were no enemies on the scope and the combat music quickly ended. Apparently I was too 'sneaky' for them and they hypered out 
Then, as I flew towards the waypoint, I was attacked by a squadron of TIE Interceptors. My Kimogila is simply too fat to keep up with a TIE Interceptor's turning radius, so after taking out one of them my shields and armor looked like swiss cheese. I thought to myself, "what would a smuggler do?", and hit /iffscramble. Bam! All of the remaining TIEs turned yellow and broke off their attack, and I quickly hit the boosters and flew like crazy towards the waypoint. Apparently, after giving the TIEs the slip, the Empire thought I was dealt with, and I had no further opposition during either of my deliveries in the Dantooine system. It was somewhat satisfying to do something sneaky and underhanded and get away with slipping past the authorities
